Question 4 of 5
4. Question
With reference to ‘Graphene’, consider the following statements
Statement 1- It enables batteries and super capacitors (and even fuel cells) to store more energy and charge faster
Statement 2- Since it is the world’s thinnest material, it has an extremely low surface-area-to-volume ratio
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Solution (c)
Statement 1 Statement 2 Correct Incorrect Graphene may enable batteries and supercapacitors (and even fuel cells) that can store more energy and charge faster, too. It is a great material for making heat-spreading solutions, such as heat sinks or heat dissipation films. This could be useful in both microelectronics (for example, to make LED lighting more efficient and longer-lasting) and in larger applications, for example, thermal foils for mobile devices. Graphene is the world’s thinnest material, it also has an extremely high surface-area-to-volume ratio. This makes graphene a very promising material for use in batteries and supercapacitors Context – Researchers recently created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene.
